// Click an OS X app sub-menu item
// 2nd argument is an array of arbitrary length (exact menu item labels, giving full path)

// e.g. menuItemClick("InqScribe", ['View', 'Aspect Ratio', 'Use Media Ratio'])

// Note that the menu path (spelling & sequence) must be exactly as in the app
// See menuItemTestClick() below for a slower version which reports any errors

// For macOS Yosemite to Sierra
